I believe the coins we have are generic 10 year coins, which are not area specific. I do not see any mention of Province, Just the date May 2000 then 10th, then May 2010. Below it shows Ten years of geocaching. On the reverse side the Roman numeral for 10 and the word "ten" in numerous other languages.  On the edge is the trackable at geocaching dot com info as well as the tracking number. Actually a well thought out coin that appeals to the masses instead of a select few. A definite keeper that I would not put in a cache for someone to steal.

Yes, the ones I got in fro everyone were more of a generic type, so that we could get some to people.  They were also sold at my cost at $7.50/coin.  The Ontario and Manitoba coins were sold for $10.00 each

I have a couple of the Ontario 10 Years! coins - one type at home now and a second Ontario type coming in. (Different colours - different regions.

I also have a couple of the Manitoba 10 years! geocoins coming in,

So I should end up with 4 different 10 Years! coins

OMIC from Manitoba and ELTADA from Ontario have let me know that they have coins that are available to folks. Best to contact them directly through the geocaching.com website and tell them you're from NWOG.

Well with Shroom's and jleecollins contacts and Hunter's salespitch, I ordered up a couple of different 10 Years coins.  My Ontario coin arrived in the mail today from ELTADA - very pleasant to deal with.  She wasn't sure if there would be any left, but I laid the charm on thick 8) and voila! - she sent one anyway  :P  I also ordered up a Manitoba coin from their website on May 7th, but nothing yet.  The Manitoba coins just recently sold out.  So many different colour combinations and metal finishes available worldwide - they all look so good.  Pringles coins - I can't stop at just one.  ;D
Reality - accept no substitution.

I have also received 10 Years event coins from ELTADA for the Durham Region, Ontario event and from Res2100 for the Terra Cotta, Ontario Event.  And have a couple coming from the Manitoba event.   Paid for on May 7 still waiting for them.

So I will have 4 different 10 Years Event Coins when the last get here.
